The Teen Tech Buzz

(1:04:00 – 16.0 MB)

After a two month break, The Teen Tech Buzz is back, and with a ton of new content! In our one year anniversary episode, we have a bunch of news including the new iPods and iTunes 7, Microsoft’s official launch of their Zune, and much more. We also have reviews of the Logitech Harmony Remote for Xbox 360, the Motorola RAZR V3m, and the Oakley O ROKR Bluetooth sunglasses. Plus, we interview Peter Rojas, co-founder and editor of the Engadget blog.

Also, as I mentioned before, this is our 1-year anniversary. Exactly one year ago today, on September 25th, 2005, The Teen Tech Buzz teaser went online. A lot of things have changed since then, including better podcast equipment and software (Skype and Garageband vs. two mics/mixer and Sound Studio 3), higher quality content (more prepared news, reviews, etc.), and our voices have gotten deeper (listen to the trailer and this podcast, notice the difference?). But, we couldn’t have done any of that (well, except our voices changing) without you, our devoted listeners, to motivate us with your comments, criticism, and overall feedback. Some of you guys have been with us since the beginning, others are new, but you all are great all the same. When Austen and I started this podcast with just two headsets, Garageband, and my .Mac account, I wasn’t sure that this podcast would get beyond only a few listeners. This month, we maxed out at 91 subscribers (see the image above for our subscriber history, and our latest podcast has been downloaded over 500 times. We are now members of the Teen Podcasters Network and the Tech Podcast Network. We have sponsored reviews from Tekserve (stay tuned for TTB #18). We have press credentials for the WIRED NEXTFEST technology expo (special edition episode coming up). Overall, I never could have anticipated the incredible growth of this podcast and the podcast industry. So, really, I’d just like to say thanks to you, our listeners, for everything.
